~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 6: Take My Hand ((Lizzie's POV))
"Why didn't you let Gordo kiss you last night?" Kate asked me as she braided my hair.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, but I knew EXACTLY what she was talking about.
"After the last dance, that he SAVED for you." Kate stated. "Quite a few girls asked him to dance but he turned them down.for YOU!"
"I don't know. We just.didn't." I replied.
"So.you DID want him to kiss you?!" Kate smiled.
"I guess." I blushed.
"Oh, my God! This is SO perfect!" She said.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~*~*Breakfast~*~*
I was already on my 2nd piece of toast by the time Gordo joined us.
"Slept in." He said as he sat down next to me. He smiled. So did I.
"Attention!" Mrs. Jeffers, another chaperone, yelled over our talking. "Attention please! Thank you. Now, tonight is Boardwalk night. If you are planning on NOT going, please contact me. Also, please be walking with someone on the boardwalk. We don't want you walking alone. Thank you." And she sat back down.
"It sounds more like their urging to go out on a date." Chaz said elbowing C.J.
"Back off." She pushed him off his chair. She laughed.
"Ouch." Gordo laughed. "Um.Lizzie?" He turned to me.
"Yeah?" I smiled.
"Well, um, I was wondering." But he never got a chance to finish. This is because Ryan Tending came up behind me.
"Hey Lizzie. Can I talk to you?" He smiled his million-dollar smile at me. I couldn't resist.
"Okay." I hopped out of my chair. "I'll talk to you later, Gordo, okay?"
"Sure." He was looking down at his plate.
Ryan & I walked out of the dinning room & into a hallway. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I smiled.
"Well, I was hoping that you would come to the boardwalk with me?" He smiled that smile at me.
"Well," I thought about Gordo. I thought that maybe he would ask me. But that smile of Ryan's.. "Sure."
"Great. I'll meet you in the lobby at 6." He leaned in & tried to kiss me, but I turned my head, so all he got was my cheek. Little did I know, Gordo was watching us.
When I walked back to the table Gordo looked a little upset. "Gordo? Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah. Everything's just great." He got up & left.
"Well," Miranda spoke up. "Haven't heard that since.oh, yeah, that's right.when Parker turned him down."
"You messed up, McGuire." Kate said. I banged my head off the table.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It's 6:45 & Kate's doing my hair.again. Two French braids. I have baby blue Capri's on with a baby blue tank top. I also have white sandals.
"There you go." Kate said looking my hair over.
I smiled at her in the mirror. "Do you think I'm doing the wrong thing?" I asked her.
"I think you made a mistake, but if you think you like this guy, then you owe it to yourself to go out with him. Because if you pass it up, you'll always wonder 'What if.'. And you don't want to wonder that. You want to know that you did the right thing." She smiled.
"That was very profound Kate." I was rather impressed.
"Yeah, well, don't expect me to act like this EVERY time you have a problem. I just know this from experience." Kate stated matter-of-factly.
"Thanks, though." I replied. I looked at the clock. 6:00! "I'd better go!" I jumped up, grabbed my purse, & ran out the door. Ryan was waiting in the lobby when I got down there. He smiled at me.
As we arrived at the boardwalk, we just so happened to run into some of his friends. We walked up to them.
"Hey guys." Ryan said to them.
"Hey Ry." A guy with glowing blond hair said. He looked at me. "Who's the babe." My mouth dropped open. How RUDE!
"Oh, just some chic that's staying at my father's hotel." He said putting his arm around me.
"Excuse me?" I said to Ryan. I took his arm off of me. "Just some CHIC?" I asked, discussed.
"You know what I mean." He looked a little nervous. He knew he said the wrong thing.
"No, I don't." I replied. I began to walk away.
"Hey! Don't walk away from me!" Ryan yelled after me.
"Watch me!" I yelled over my shoulder. He didn't run after me, not that I care. So, I made my way to an ice cream parlor. I got a chocolate cone & sat down at one of the tables covered by big red & white umbrellas. I watched the tables fill up by couples as I licked my ice cream. Soon, all the tables were filled up & it seemed like I was the only one alone. Just then, someone walked up to me.
"You seem lonely. Where's your date?" A boy asked me. He sat down across from me. It was Gordo.
"Well, he turned out to be a jerk. So, I ditched him." I replied, smiling. "What about you? Where's your date?"
"I was going to ask this beautiful girl to come with me, but some rich, snobby guy beat me to it. So, I'm flying solo." Gordo said. He smiled at me.
"Do I know her?" I asked.
"You do actually." He smiled.
"Will you tell me who?" I asked.
He thought for a moment. "Nah." He laughed.
"Alright, then." I replied as I finished my cone. "I'm going to walk some more. Care to join me?" I smiled.
"Why not." He smiled back. As we walked along the boardwalk, Gordo brushed my hand. I smiled at him. A little while later, it happened again. This time, he took hold of my hand.
**Take my hand**
We then walked off the boardwalk & walked towards the ocean. He smiled at me. That smile of his, it was completely different from Ryan's, made me go weak at the knees.
**Take my whole life too**
We stood there in the white, glowing sand looking at the water. It crashed into the sand, leaving white foam at our feet.
"It's so beautiful." I said out of nowhere.
"Just like you." Gordo said facing me.
**For I can't help.**
I turned to face him. He looked strait in my eyes. His blue eyes shone in the moonlight. Our faces were deadly close.
"Want to know a secret?" He whispered. I nodded. My voice was caught in my throat. "You're the beautiful girl I want to ask." He smiled. Before I could reply, he leaned in & kissed me.
**.falling in love with you!**
Behind us, watching from behind a bench, were Miranda, Travis, C.J., & Chaz. "Mission accomplished!" Miranda whispered to the 3.
